Self Evaluation.

     Well I know that I'm amazing but I guess that won't do for a self evaluation.


1. I think that Tristan and my film conveys the sensation of prickliness by creating a soundscape with many sharp and sudden textures. We created a bed sound, such as the ocean or Maura's singing. Then added percussive hits, or crinkling sharp sounds.

2. The piece could be strengthened by allowing at least a ten second longer run time, and the use of tape audio recording. With the tape record I could manually add peaks that sound more tonal then what Audition or Premiere can do. Conceptually it would be nice to have access to percussive instruments, or a longer recording time with the specific concept in mind.

3. The most challenging part of this project is that Tristan hit the power supply, erasing ten minutes of work. I dealt with it my suppressing my rage. (Being sarcastic here, all is fine.)

4. Layering sound is a lot more effective than people let on. Most films never move past three tracks of sound, but I find that having up to six or eight is even better.
